With online slots providers constantly releasing titles surrounding fishing, mining, and Ancient Egypt, it's not uncommon for players to be on the hunt for a title that has a completely unique theme. Dino P.D. certainly ticks this box, and as the name suggests, this release focuses on an assortment of law enforcing dinosaurs. Once this intriguing game has loaded, the board will appear in the middle of the screen, with the dinosaur police station and parking lot being visible in the background. The Dino P.D. slot features a total of 5 reels, 20 paylines, and a minimum stake size of 0.10 per spin.
This title was created by Push Gaming, a provider that is responsible for a variety of unique mechanics in the casino slots space. Of course, they have also released an assortment of titles too, with Retro Tapes Cluster Link, Space Stacks Reel Bets, and Jammin' Jars all being part of their portfolio.
The standard icons in Dino P.D. consist of a blue doughnut, a green doughnut, a purple doughnut, a red doughnut, a set of handcuffs, a walkie-talkie, a can of tear gas, and a megaphone. Next up are the premiums, shown as a green pterodactyl, a purple velociraptor, and a red stegosaurus, which can award players with up to 30x, 40x, and 50x their stake size, respectively.
Dino P.D. also comes with a host of special symbols, including a golden wild that can replace any standard or premium icon along a payline. There are also two different types of scatter icons, shown as a golden egg and a dinosaur police badge, both of which are linked to the main bonus mode. Last up is a selection of coins in the colours bronze, silver, and gold!
The first bonus mechanic in Dino P.D. is relatively simple and revolves around the different coin symbols, which can appear with 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, or 1,000 stamped on them. If five or more of these appear, the values will be added together and multiplied by the total bet size, before being awarded to the player.
Should scatter icons land on reels 1 and 3, alongside a gamble scatter symbol on reel 5, the main bonus mode in this release will trigger. The gamble scatter will display a reel that will spin to reveal either a bronze, silver, or gold coin, with 8 to 10 free spins being awarded for all three outcomes.
Now, the difference between the three bonus modes is how many standard icons are removed from play and turned into coin symbols. In the bronze mode, 0 or 1 standard symbol will be removed, with 2 to 3 being removed in the silver round, and 4 in the gold. Players can choose to gamble the bronze or silver free spins to either upgrade their bonus or return to the base game if they wish. Alternatively, the option to collect will start the bonus immediately.
Throughout the round, players may notice coin symbols that feature a ring of light around them, known as 'Collector Coins'. If these drop in any position, they will award progress on the metre to the right, and when four are collected, the least desirable set of symbols left in play will also be transformed into coins. Furthermore, players will be awarded with additional spins, and the win multiplier for the round will increase to 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x, respectively. Keep in mind that this multiplier is only applied to coin values should five or more appear during the same spin.
With a unique theme, engaging audio, and high-quality visuals, Dino P.D. has a lot to offer. It also features an interesting bonus mode alongside the popular collect mechanic that is used frequently in casino slots online!
